A survey of patients with basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) revealed that major changes have occurred since the World War II. In the pre‐World War II generations, men outnumber women and most BCCs occur on the head and neck. Men had more BCCs on the ear and trunk, while women had more on the head and leg. In the post‐World War II generation, women outnumbered men and most BCCs occurred on the trunk.
